Pastuszak hopes the spike in vasectomies will translate to an increased interest in male birth control in general, something that will push research around hormonal and non-hormonal options for men forward. “What we're seeing is a high demand, especially amongst younger men, for contraceptive options,” he says. “That doesn't mean permanent options. It means more guys are interested in exploring and potentially engaging, in contraceptive approaches. Those are the types of things that I think we can look forward to in the next five-to-10 years. And that will truly allow the reproductive freedom that younger men, especially, are looking for.”
